Rating

Formerly the Banyan Tree Golf Club, Laguna has had a facelift and a name change. All the greens have been rebuilt and reshaped, the once-flat fairways now roll and dip, strategic hazards have been added and more mature trees enhance the woodlands setting. Rapid improvements have seen the course rated in surveys among the top 10 courses in Thailand. British tournament pro Nick Faldo is said to have been most complimentary about the course, which he played while on vacation on Phuket.

Facilities

Tables and chairs under umbrellas spill out by the ornamental pond beyond the elegant Thai-style pavilion clubhouse. Inside there are first-class locker rooms, a five-star cafe and pro teaching facilities that now include state-of-the-art video analysis. Laguna also boasts a full length driving range, putting greens, practice bunkers and chipping areas, along with some tennis courts.

Accommodation

Laguna Phuket Golf Club is part of Laguna Phuket Resort, Asia’s first integrated resort, offering five-star hotels, shopping, activities and world class spas.

Laguna Phuket’s nearby luxury hotels: Dusit Laguna Resort, Sheraton Grande Laguna Phuket, Laguna Beach Resort, Allamanda Phuket and Banyan Tree Phuket.

On the course

With some dramatic changes, water now comes into play on 14 holes. While Laguna has been upgraded, the course is not too daunting for someone who just wants to play resort-style golf. It's relatively easily walking, although the prospect of introducing a fleet of golf carts is being considered. There are about 395 members and 209 caddies. Several new kiosks have been added and a modern electric beverage cart patrols the course dispensing drinks and cold towels.

Top holes

Hole 9
At 373 yards, is a fairly short par four. Negotiating the dogleg left opens up the spectacle of an island green, set in an ornamental pool in front of the clubhouse. The rolling fairway provides uphill and downhill lies, just to make the shot home that little bit more challenging.

Hole 17
A daunting par five at 612 yards, first snakes left, then right. Water curls across the fairway then returns to cut the turf a second time. Mounds around the target zone for the drive morph into fairway bunkers to await stray second shots, and a triangular green adds to the jigsaw of shapes.

Transport

The club provides transportation for Laguna Phuket guests.
